description -
The world's most popular fortune-telling techniques — crystal balls, tarot cards, and palm reading — originated with the Romany, whose belief in magic, spell-casting, and prophecy has endured for nine centuries.

Now, in this beautifully illustrated book, Gillian Kemp reveals time-honored secrets of the supreme practitioners of divination and the mystic arts. She has compiled a practical collection of good spells, drawn from time spent with some of Europe's dwindling Romany groups, which are easy to follow and use everyday ingredients such as candles, flowers, ribbons and string.

From love charms to spells for money, health and happiness, this fun and attractive spell book keeps alive the colorful traditions of the Romany people and promises great luck in the future for true believers.
